After listening to the silent words, Tang Ruji looked at the finger that had just stopped bleeding, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he had to be ruthless, and then bite through the wound, this is an injury on top of injury, it hurts a lot more than the first time.

Tang Ruji's trembling fingers were just about to fall on the paper, but he heard Shen Mo say: "It's going to be neatly written, don't be crooked, otherwise who will believe that it was written by the champion?" ”

Tang Ruji nodded helplessly, so he had to use his fingers as a brush and began to write stroke by stroke. Anyone who has ever written a blood book knows that the biggest trouble is that the 'pen' will run out of water...... And the more adult male surnames, the more likely this situation is to occur, Tang Ruji is suffering from it at the moment, he can't write two strokes, the wound will not bleed, and he has repeatedly scratched it on the paper, only a faint red mark. Fearing that the writing would not be invalid, he had to stop the 'pen' and ponder that he had to put some more 'water'.

But when I glanced at the 'fleshy and blurred' right thumb, I really couldn't bear to bite it again. I had to ...... I changed my finger and bit off the finger of my right hand, and I wrote the word, but there was no 'water', so I had to bite the middle finger of my right hand again, and so on, and I actually bit nine of the ten fingers before I finished writing the allegiance.

Shen Mo saw that he still had his left thumb intact, and thought for a while: "I haven't written a date yet." ”

Tang Ruji almost fainted, but now he was completely numb, and he could only be slaughtered, so he bit off the only intact finger and wrote the words 'the first day of October in the year of Xinyou'...... He has lost too much blood now, and his cheeks are swollen like steamed buns, how pitiful and pitiful he looks. Shen Mo doesn't like to torture people, but he was almost killed by him, and he is really full of resentment and has nowhere to vent...... If he was replaced by Xu Wei, he might have written off the surname Tang with a knife, but Shen Mo only tossed him...... Of course, this is also because he is still useful, otherwise he may not know how to dissolve him.

But now, it can only be counted like this, and Shen Mo sighed lightly: "Brother Siji, if you don't learn a lesson, you may not be able to save ten fingers next time." ”

Although his voice was soft, Tang Ruji nodded with horror on his face, and said indistinctly: "I, always remember." ”

"Hehe, that's good." Shen Mo pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down." ”

Tang Ruji sat on the chair as if he had been pardoned, with half of his buttocks on his side.

Shen Mo said again: "I haven't had a cup of tea for so long, I'm thirsty, right?" ”

Tang Ruji hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty." ”

"The first thing we get along with in the future," Shen Mo stretched out a finger and said, "It is that we must be honest." ”

"I'm thirsty, my throat is smoking." Tang Ruji grinned more ugly than crying, and said, "But I don't dare to cause trouble to adults." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, got up and poured a cup of tea for Tang Ruji, watched him drink it, and then said softly: "Brother Siji, you might as well ask yourself, if I hurt you like that, can you still be so good to me?" ”

Tang Ru got goosebumps, but he had to admit: "If you change me, you won't forgive." ”

Shen smiled silently, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember the lesson of this time, we can get along amicably in the future, get promoted together and make a fortune together," and patted him again: "Speaking of which, I am jealous of you...... You have sinned against me, but I am pulling you out of the fire pit, taking you away from danger and sending you to heaven...... Uh, heaven on earth, and your future will shine brightly. As he spoke, he shook his head again and again: "Could it be that this is what our Confucians call 'the way of forgiveness'?" ”

Even though he was full of fear, Tang Ruji was still amused by the silence, and hurriedly stiffened his face and said, "My lord has the legacy of his master, and he is my generation's example." ”

Shen Mo laughed when he heard this: "I'm joking, are you serious?" ”

"Ah, oh......" Tang Ruji bowed his head and said, "I'm foolish." ”

"But," said silently, "I was serious in the first few sentences, if you continue like that, as soon as King Jing becomes a vassal, your life will come to an end." "Slapping a sweet date has always been the best choice to convince people's hearts, although this time the slap is a bit heavy, and the dates are not too sweet.

Although Tang Ruji kept nodding, there was a disapproving light in his eyes, it seemed that until now, he still firmly believed that King Jing would win!

"Why?" Shen Mo asked him, "Tell me the truth." ”

"Because King Yu has no queen." Tang Ruji told the truth, but when he saw Shen Mo raise his hand, he quickly hugged his head, and said aggrieved and pitiful: "You asked me to tell the truth." ”

Shen Mo just took off a piece of hair from his shoulder, looked Tang Ruji up and down, and said, "Look at this face, it's like a pot of steamed buns; Look at these hands, like ten turnips, how can you see people when you go out? ”

Tang Ruji said with a bitter face: "I don't have the face to see people......"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, "I have a miracle doctor living in my house, you should have heard of it, right?" ”

"You said it was Imperial Doctor Li?" Tang Ruji nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it, our prince...... Oh no, King Jing also wrote his name on the puppet, and he pierced it three times a day. ”

"And this one?" Silent this Khan, he said, "Why did he stab Imperial Doctor Li?" ”

"Isn't it because he gave King Yu, oh no, our prince is healing?" Tang Ruji said: "Actually, we all know that as long as Prince Yu has a son, the situation will be reversed immediately. ”

"You know a lot," Shen Mo nodded and said, "Go find him, see if he can help you, and by the way, help me ask, when will Yuwang's illness be cured?" ”

"Yes." Tang Ruji got up and went out, and his own guards took him to find Li Shizhen.

When he closed the door silently, he turned around and came back, only to see that there was another person behind the big case, holding a sword in one hand and Tang Ruji's confession in the other.

Shen Mo obviously knew about his existence, and said without the slightest surprise: "Brother Wen, please give me some footsteps, okay?" Don't float around like a ghost. ”

It turned out that the person was Xu Wei, he was originally sleeping in the study, and after coming in silently, he discussed a few words with him, and finally decided to face Tang Ruji alone. Worried that the guy would jump off the wall in a hurry and hurt Shen Mo, Xu Wei hid behind the screen with a sword and monitored him at any time to prevent him from hurting people.

Now that the surname Tang is out, he naturally doesn't have to hide it, so he came out and looked at the blood book curiously, and said in amazement: "It is worthy of being the champion, and he can write such a neat pavilion with his fingers." He said strangely: "Why did you ask him to write and obey the leader of the high arch?" ”

"He just wrote 'obey Xu Wei's leadership', what do you think is the point?" Shen Mo sneered: "He is afraid of the evidence that is enough to destroy him, not the guarantee of this Raushzi...... I asked for this thing to give Gao Gong a mission, and of course I had to write his name. ”

"You can also show your loyalty by the way." Xu Wei nodded and smiled: "You guy, the eighteen martial arts of officialdom are all about everything!" ”

"Awards, awards." Shen Mo calmly swallowed and said: "I call it a line of love and love, like you, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, ashamed of the grain and rice of the court." ”

"Hey......" Xu Wei scolded with a smile: "What I said, the court only sent me half of the money, and I should only give the court half of the time, which is fair and reasonable." "The household department is still openly accepting aid, and there are not a few officials who are passive and slacking off, but Xu Wei is not because of this, he is purely tired of those hypocritical official friendships, except for the summons of the Son of Heaven, he basically stays at home.

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, didn't debate with him, put the blood book in the box, and then put the first one in an envelope, ready to send it to Gao Gong, which was considered to have fulfilled the promise to Gao Gong and King Yu, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Forget about this matter." ”

Xu Wei asked, "What about Yuan Wei?" You just let him go? ”

"Alas, what's the hurry." Shen Mo smiled and said: "Winter is coming, the little animals know how to store food for the winter, and we have to make some preparations for the New Year." ”

"You're going to keep him?" Xu Wei has a strong understanding of silent nonsense, and said, "Wait for the future to fatten up and then kill?" ”

"Yes, keep it first, and it will come in handy in the future." Shen Mo nodded and said, "He's coming back soon, where are you coming from?" ”

"So fast," Xu Jie pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he heard footsteps in the distance, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You know him so well?" ”

"I know Mr. Li." Shen Mo smiled faintly. Li Shizhen's time is so precious, how can he spend more effort with Tang Ruji.

Tang Ruji came back, his face and hands were really swollen, and he said with a look of admiration: "I understand, thank you for saving me, so that I can stop the precipice." Tang Ruji was completely suppressed by Li Shizhen's medical skills, so when he heard him say that His Royal Highness King Yu would be able to recuperate for half a year, he would be able to recover as before, and the last illusion he had about King Jing was gone.

Shen Mo nodded, and said with a straight face: "You will go to Suzhou without saying anything, I have to tell you some things." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Tang Ruji was sitting in a precarious position, and the two had established a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"I have always kept an eye on Su Song's big family, they won't cause you trouble, if there is a problem, I will inform you to deal with them." Shen Mo paused and said, "Of course, if you find a problem, you must also tell me in time." ”

"Yes." Tang Ruji said: "I will live in peace with them and remain vigilant." ”

"That's what it means." Shen Mo nodded and said, "But you are not so idle, you have to do a few things." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Tang Ruji nodded and said, "The lower officials remember it." ”

"First, we must strongly support our sailors." Shen Mo said: "Whether it is General Yu's coastal defense fleet or Xu Hai's ocean-going escort fleet, they must be fully supported, they are the premise and guarantee for Su Song's vigorous development." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Of course, there should be a slight difference in degree, the defense fleet has a heavy task, and it must be supplied in large quantities; The escort fleet is always in danger and must use a crack strategy. ”

Tang Ruji pondered for a while, and then understood, nodded and said, "You mean, to ensure that General Yu's fleet is strong and large, and Xu Hai's fleet is fine and small?" ”

"I already knew that you were a capable person!" Shen Mo stretched out his thumb and praised, and said: "Yes, they are all their own children, they all have to hurt, and it is not good to have relatives and aliens; But different children have different ways of hurting, and it is not possible to treat them the same. He said with a smile: "The grasp of proportion is very important, and I believe you can do it." ”

"Xiaguan will try his best to grasp it," Tang Ruji responded, "I will ask for more instructions from my lord." ”

"The distance between Beijing and Suzhou is still a bit far, and self-judgment is very important." Shen Mo nodded and said, "As long as it's not too important, you can make your own ideas and repay me afterwards." As if remembering something, he said, "By the way, we don't need to rely on the post station for communication between us, you just need to hand over the letter to your friend behind the scenes, and it will reach you." ”

"My friends?" Tang Ruji said: "The lower officials have no friends. ”

"I know you don't," Shen Mo smiled: "I have a fellow countryman who has come over, is well-educated, shrewd, and loyal, and recommends it to Brother Siji, you won't dislike it, right?" ”

Tang Ruji knew that this was the proper meaning of the question, so he should say: "I can't ask for it." ”

"Okay, I'll let him go to you in two days." Shen Mo smiled: "I hope you get along well." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Tang Ruji agreed.

"Okay, that's all for the details," Shen Mo got up and said: "Finally, I will give you eight words, as long as you do it, I will go all out to support you!" ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Tang Ruji followed and got up and said.

"The sea is inclusive, and we work together in harmony." Shen Mo said in a deep voice: "Think about these eight words when you encounter something, and you will know what to do." ”

"Remember."

After Tang Ruji left, Shen Mo went straight to Gao Gong's house with the envelope. Gao Gong was amazed at this...... He originally thought that Shen Mo would play some tricks to get by, but he didn't expect that people would directly send Tang Ruji's letter of application, and couldn't help but ask him how he did it.

Shen Mo Zhengse said: "Since evil is invincible, the prince is benevolent and virtuous, and the high prince is mighty, even the stubborn stone will be influenced, let alone Lord Tang?" ”

How could Gao Gong believe him, but he was very satisfied with the above statement: 'Loyal to the prince and obey the leadership of Lord Gao', so he didn't ask anymore, and said: "You have a lot of tricks." Stuffing the letter of allegiance back into the envelope, his eyes changed when he saw that he was silent, and said with a face full of relief: "Jiangnan, the old man wants to apologize to you, but I was too abrupt and misunderstood you." ”

Shen Mo hurriedly said humbly: "Where did Gao Gong speak, it happened suddenly, and there was no way to communicate in advance...... Speaking of which, please don't blame me for making my own decisions. ”

Gao Gong shook his head and smiled: "How come? If that's the case, I'd like you to come back a few more times. Said with a look of relief: "When I put you in the Yuwang Mansion, it was really the old man's genius!" ”

"Gao Gong has won the award." Shen Mo could feel that he was in the high arch, and he could be regarded as completely establishing his position.

Sure enough, I heard Gao Gong say: "You Bingchen Branch has completed the exam this year, write a list of those who are kind to you in the same year, and the old man will try to help you take care of it." He was afraid that he would be too full of words, so he added: "But I'm new to here, and there are two hall officials on it, Ouyang Shangshu and Feng Shilang, so don't count on those popular positions." ”

Shen Mo nodded when he heard this: "Sooner or later, there will be a time when Gao Gong has the final say." As he spoke, he took out the roster of two people from his sleeve and said, "This is the last time, the adults asked me to give you the names, Sun Ling and Wu Dui, both of whom are the three friends of Xiaguan." "Three same, fellow villagers, fellow classmates, and fellow students.

"Oh......" Gao Gong took it, opened it and said, "They are all from Hanlin," he said and asked him: "I remember, Bingchenke, you Shaoxing have won twelve, and seven of them have entered the Hanlin Academy, is that so?" ”

"Exactly." He smiled silently.

"It's amazing." Gao Gong exclaimed: "A province in Henan has never been so brilliant. ”

"Maybe it's because we have a lot of people reading there." Shen Mo said softly.

"Yes...... Gao Gong pondered for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, "These two fellow villagers, how do you want to arrange them?" ”

"Let's try to get as much experience as possible." Shen Mo said: "They don't want to waste their idle jobs. ”

"Ambitious." Gao Gong smiled: "I will try to arrange it." ”

"Master Xie." Shen Mo also smiled.

After finishing the business, Gao Gong suddenly raised a stubble and said, "I heard that you are going to hold a debate meeting in Guozijian?" ”

"That's right." He asked suddenly, but Shen Mo had already thought of a good explanation: "The students are angry at those fallacies and heresies, and they also want to ban them, but they are afraid that those people will say that it is because they are afraid of them, so they use their power to prevent them from speaking, which may make many young scholars not know the truth and go astray, isn't it a dereliction of duty on the part of our generation of educators?" After a pause, he said: "I heard 'Dayu controls the water, blocking is better than sparse'; and I heard that 'evil is invincible to good', and I also heard that 'reason is not clear', and I said that since we are right, then in the public, those crooked reasons will be refuted to the fullest, and the students will naturally understand who is right and who is wrong, and will no longer blindly follow......

Listening to his long speech, Gao Gong smiled and said: "It seems that you have thought about this matter carefully, and there is no problem in doing so, after all, Guozijian itself has the only way to invite scholars to give lectures." He said in a low voice: "But I remind you, you must control the impact in the Guozi Prison, if it spreads out and causes too much fluctuation, I'm afraid you won't end well." ”

"Be taught." Said silently.
